RAND Corp: ‘Sanctions against Iran are doomed’

America’s powerful pro-Israel think tank, RAND Research and Analysis Corporation, in its report ahead of the P5+1 and Iran meeting in Moscow – has claimed that the US and EU sanctions against Iran are harming the EU more than Iranian regime which the USrael desire to topple.

“The EU is at its worst possible conditions to harm Iran. Countries are able to bypass economic sanctions,” says professor Keith Crane, Director of the Environment, Energy, and Economic Development program at the RAND. Dr. Crane also mentioned that big and numerous problems facing major banks have endangered the world monetary system, and thus the system cannot tolerate any more risks and pressures to be created by sanctioning one of the most important world oil producers.

RAND in its earlier report had warned the USrael of its “military option” against the Islamic Republic. It predicted that any attack by Israel or the US will convince Tehran the importance of nuclear arms as “deterrent” against the world-bullies.

“Proponents of an Israeli military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities might believe that Israel could endure the short-term military and diplomatic fallout of such action, but the long-term consequences would likely be disastrous for Israel’s security. Those believed to favor a military option, such as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, argue that the Middle East with a nuclear-armed Iran would be far more dangerous than a military attack to prevent it. But their position rests on a faulty assumption that a future, post-attack Middle East would indeed be free of a nuclear-armed Iran. In fact, a post-attack Middle East may result in the worst of both worlds: a nuclear-armed Iran more determined than ever to challenge the Jewish state, and with far fewer regional and international impediments to doing so,” says the report authored by James Dobbins, Dalia Dassa Kaye, Alireza Nader and Frederic Wehrey.

Iranian president, Dr. Ahmadinejad, during his Beijing visit to attend the SCO summit accused major world powers of looking for ways to “find excuses and to waste time” in talk over Iran’s civilian nuclear program. Based on P5+1 and IAEA past record, Ahmadinejad was not optimistic of a compromise at the Moscow meeting.

The United States, European allies and even Israel generally agree on three things about Iran’s nuclear program: Tehran does not have a bomb, has not decided to build one, and is probably years away from having a deliverable nuclear warhead.

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, has said that the possession of nuclear weapons is a major sin. The November 2011 report of the IAEA did not claim that Iran has a nuclear weapons program. Inspite of all that, the Zionist regime which itself has nearly 400 nuclear bombs, with the help of its western-poodles – is trying to stop Iran of its ‘inalienable right’ to enrich uranium for its medical needs under NPT.

Yada yada yada.
That is the same line used for decades. Tehran is locked into dependency to the USSR for technology, fuel and installations to a great degree. Russian nuclear scientists are among those who have been assassinated. Given Russia’s need to show prospective nuclear generating plant buyers it will intercede on their behalf – something not nearly clear enough given economic warfare – even the participant in the Cuban Missile Crisis needs to somehow make it clear the level of its commitment. That is not likely to become obvious from reading western so called media.
Then there is the matter of Rand being far from an impartial commentator. I believe this is their work being commented upon.
TRANSCEND MEDIA SERVICE » The NPT and the Nuclear Power TRAP

Unfortunately, I don’t know how they say “Yada yada yada” in Yiddish – but one thing is sure – while the Zionist regime lectures Iran on Tehran nuclear program – it forgets that it were American Jewish traitors who helped Israel to steal highly enriched uranium from US laboratory which was used by former Jewish Nazi scientists working in Israel to developed Israel’s first batch of nuclear bombs.

NPT, like UN, WB and IMF were created to protect the interests of western powers controlled by Jews and Christian Zionists. Israel along with India, and Pakistan have refused to join NPT – because they realized long time ago that in addition to the five UNSC members – the only way to become a nuclear power – is to stay out of NPT. That’s what Israeli-born Gilad Atzmon said a few years ago – “The only way to shut Israel’s whining – Iran must quit NTP and develop a nuclear bomb as soon as possible”. Wouldn’t you agree with your Israeli Jewish brother, Moshe??
